Augsburg lead!
What is this game!? Augsburg - who were trailing 2-0 - are in front! Fredrik Jensen sends a menacing ball into the mixer from the right which goalkeeper Kevin Müller fails to reach. Ermedin Demirovic stretches and deflects home at the far post. Amazing.
41'
Pedersen screamer
What a fabulous goal this is! Tietz tees up Pedersen who - standing outside the box - flashes a wonderful outside-of-the-boot shot at the target and the ball flies into the top corner!

Another one!

Joint message for peace
The DFL has recommended a minute's silence in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 to remember all innocent victims and their relatives after the devastating events in the Middle East. With this joint effort, the DFL and DFB would like to send a common message from German football for peace. Football is a sport that brings people together, which is why we all stand up for peaceful coexistence, respect and tolerance. A fortnight ago, the terrorist attack by Hamas on the people of Israel and the State of Israel began. The DFL is shocked by this terrible attack and the events in the region.
